Yeah, I tried and contact the maker of this model before I made the Type C2 (I-47) submarine, but either the email is wrong or the guy plain didn't want to give us his model..

was made for a National Geographic Documentary

tried the listed email again - it does not work...

edit : he works at www.Radical3D.com I sent them a message asking for the model, we'll see.. it's a ten years old model so I am hoping he'll agree to give it to us.. fingers crossed !

When I saw this, I thought it was one of your mods!

cute..

I found their homepage, there seems to be a new email link and even a phone number. Just sent them out an E-mail.

And after even more research I found they are selling both I-52 and a U-boat, maybe we could get only one for half the price.
Its a bit pricey though.

Not trying to tell you how to spend money but you could take the Narwhal contest prize of 200$ and buy this, breaking even not losing anything but gaining 2 new sub models.

That model looks sweet.

Found this image of I-52

nice blueprints, I think I had already seen those.

but since we already have a boat with 6 fore tubes, and I was looking for variety, I made the Type C2 instead, with 8 fore tubes :D

so this one is kind on the backburner atm

Ok, I sent them ab E-mail asking if they were interested in trading models, hopefully they say yes.:D

I did the same to James the model maker yesterday via a company he works for, but asking for a free release of their model for our non profit campaign mod.

:)

And if he says no, maybe we could set up a donations box.

Allright he said trading models could work, ill send him some images of my work and keep you updated when I get home.

GREAT WORK MINER !!!!

:yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

keltos

ps and I don't give those easily ;)

Are you planning on doing the RO sub class?

3,500 nmi (6,500 km) at 12 knots (22 km/h) surfaced
60 nmi (110 km) at 3 knots (5.6 km/h) submerged
(After expanded the fuel tanks)
6,000 nmi (11,000 km) at 12 knots (22 km/h) surfaced

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ro-100_class_submarine

no not atm, they have too short a range for the campaign we are working on, only long range subs are in.

regards

keltos
